LONGA NOVA, one of Kamil Erdem's compositions as well as the title and opening piece of Asiaminor's second album released in 1996, is now the name of his new group. Over the years, this composition has been arranged for and performed by many different bands, ranging from quartets to big bands. It's rich harmonies and the Turkish flavor of it's melody is appreciated by both jazz and traditional musicians alike and being typical of Erdem's compositions, reflects his musical identity. Now, 20 years after its birth as a composition and an album, LONGA NOVA is on its way as a group playing 20 years of tradition with today's trends.
